ALEXIS’ POV It was two days after my big discussion with Hannah. She had finally left my side after taking out two off days just to be with me and ‘take care of me’. Her choice of words not mine. We’d talked about the pregnancy, eaten some good food which I always ended up puking, saw movies even if I always dozed off on her and then just had a really good time. My mood was lifted and I felt better. This was what was powering me up for the big decision I was going to take today. I was going to the doctor to get an abortion. Hannah already booked my session with one of the best Doctor’s in town. However, this particular hospital was actually a maternity hospital. I didn’t see how that would be a problem. It only made it evident that the doctor was skilled in cases of childbearing, pregnancy and abortion. After Hannah left for work, I got up and took a nice, long warm shower and then pulled my pale looking body into a white dress. Once again, I couldn’t bear to see the other colours

ALEXIS’ POVI was on my way to dinner with John Rhodes and his beautiful family. I particularly had something to celebrate; for starters, Rhodes Co-operation was back in business with FunDeets under the clause that I would remain their sole contact in the deals. They’d also bought into my idea and were going to do things like I’d said. Secondly, I was going to dine with the awesome John Rhodes and his family! I’d made an acquaintance with a multibillionaire. That was awesome. I was particularly looking forward to meeting his daughter who from her photos reminded me of myself when I was younger. I pulled into a simple black gate and was scared for a moment that I’d gotten lost. However, GPS said I was on track with the address I’d typed into it. The gate pulled open and I drove in. A smiling security man waved me in and I was amazed at the simplicity of John Rhodes’ house. I don’t know what I was expecting but whatever I was expecting did not measure up at all to what I was staring a

ALEXIS' POVMaxwell Moon. That was His name and he asked me to dinner. Just only two hours after we'd met, he called and asked me to meet him for dinner. Then he offered to come pick me up to which I declined. I was still grippling with the events of the previous night, the strange dream that I'd had and the many emotions that came with meeting him again. It was almost too much to bear. I'd driven home, taken a shower and then crawled into bed while staring at the ceiling. I'd wanted so badly to talk to someone but couldn't bring myself to call Hannah. She'd sent me a text, she wouldn't be coming home for the night and the next few days. She'd gone on an unplanned trip with her boyfriend. So, I was all alone in my mystery. Girlfriends over boyfriend was clearly something not in Hannah's dictionary. I didn't even bother to give her a call. She was probably shagging her boyfriend somewhere. I'd get the full details once she got home. When it was 6pm, I crawled out of bed, feeling ver

MAX’S POVAs I drove to my apartment, I kept glancing over at Alexis by my side. She was seated daintily on the seat and dozing beautifully. She’d fallen asleep almost immediately she got into the car. The bruise in her face stood out starkly against her pale skin. I felt terribly guilty. Who were those guys? I’d never seen them before and they had mentioned my Dad. Plus the weapons they’d use were laced with silver. This means they knew that I was a werewolf. I couldn’t imagine anyone having a personal vendetta against me or my dad enough to come after us this wayMy Dad was long dead and his personality wasn’t one to actually do anything to hurt anyone. Our business has run smoothly on transparency, honesty and hard work. This was what we were known for. This was the legacy I had inherited. I was troubled by this event, more than I was letting on. Especially now that innocent Alexis and our baby were now in the picture. I needed to get them back home, out of this town, to the safet

ALEXIS POVI woke around dawn the next morning. The time on my phone read 6:01am and it was still dark outside. I sat up in bed. Bed? I took a quick glance around me to notice that I was back in the room I’d slept in when I first got to Max’s house. The events of the last few hours flashed through my mind. After my late lunch, I’d fallen asleep and then had this frightful nightmare which woke me up. Then I’d located Max and he had what? He had serenaded me to sleep! Sang! Max had sung! All Six foot 2 inches of manly strength and power had been so gentle with me. I half remembered some of his gestures; I had been so groggy and sleepy. They had all been gentle and kind and sweet. For a moment, my heart began to beat louder. Oh no, I couldn’t possibly fall in love with Max. No, I couldn’t. I just couldn’t. This was not the plan. The plan was to be a single mum. I’d sworn off men. Plus I had to focus on the baby this time. I felt him. Him, for some reason, I was sure it was him. I felt
